We do not have the problems with blank CDs being more expensive than 
DVDs.  You can get 100 packs online for under $20 [plus shipping] for 
both CDs and DVDs at Tigerdirect.com.  I currently buy locally when I 
need them.  I have no trouble finding them in my area of the country.  
There are even bargain stores that have 25 and 50 per spool for 5$ and 
$10 pricing where the DVDs are $8 for 25 and $15 for 50.  This is where 
I get the "thin" jewel cases as well for a good price.  That is why I 
would like a "thin" jewel case graphic for the DVD.  I can get the "thin 
tall" DVD cases at one of the big chain stores about 10 miles away from 
me, but they are 10 for $10 or $15 [all USA dollars].

I use an external USB CD/DVD LightScribe burner to save my laptop's 
drive.  My old HP laptop's DVD burner failed twice under the warranty 
period and would have cost me $250 to buy a replacement.  The external 
one is slower since it is USB, but it cost me $50 or so to replace it.  
Of course for $90 you can buy an USB 2 terabyte external drive on sale 
at places line TigerDirect.com.

What is hard to find is full size [full thickness] jewel cases and the 
full thickness DVD/Movie cases.  I do not use the thick jewel cases 
anymore since I need as much space as possible for my burned "stuff".  
The thinner DVD/movie size cases are easier to find and store, but you 
do not have the thick spine to see what you got.  Same with the thin 
jewel cases, but I have learned to live with that.
